Condition

Wear consistent with age and use within the culture. Half of the seat is missing as well as some fingers and the quasi-totality of the lower part of the figure under the belly. The rest of the figure is very well preserved with a beautiful thick and deep dark patina. The head and headdress are in excellent condition.
